                                     H.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Labor and Public Employment, to which was
referred H.B. No. 517 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SELECTIVE SERVICE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to provide that no person who is
required to register with the federal Selective Service System
shall be eligible for state or county employment unless the
person provides written documentation that the person has
registered or is otherwise in compliance with the Military
Selective Service Act.

     The Selective Service System, the Selective Services
System's Local Board No. 5, and the United Public Workers
submitted testimony in support of this measure.  The American
Friends Service Committee submitted testimony in opposition to
this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical,
nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style and clarity.
 
     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Labor and Public Employment that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 517, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 517, H.D.
1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
